After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat:

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...

UK IT leaders say they’re finding harder to recruit technical skills than last year. At the same time, graduates in computer science and data science are struggling to find jobs. Welcome to the skills gap paradox.

The looming labor shortage means a sustainable path to the middle class is in the trades, rather than in a college education (nearing half-a-million dollars for a bachelor’s degree at a state school in 2035) financed by loans.

Instead of asking “what’s going to change in 10 years?”, ask:

“What’s NOT going to change in 10 years?”

Answer: demand for skilled labor in the trades, plumbers, electricians, etc
